i know women, not big soccer fans, who were transfixed. yes, the american team lost in a shoot-out but the women were celebrated by most of the media. not on hbo's "real sports" where bryant gumbel gave them a good, swift kick. >> can we please stop commenting on women in sports? are we so fearful of being labeled sexist we ant objectively assess the efforts of women athletes? >> they made sloppy mistakes. >> had a men's team turned in a similar performance, papers and pundits nationwide would have had a field day, assailing the players, criticizing the coach, and demanding widespread changes to a men's national team that flat-out choked. yet the common reactions to this ladies' loss were expressions of empathy for the defeat of the unfortunate darlings and pride this in their heroic effort. >> that's outrageous. bryant gumbel is -- he has a point, doesn't he? they did blow the game. but sports isn't just about scoring points and playin

so the big, big change in a few weeks only, even a few days this week. >> i think you've hit on a relevantly important point here, before we all crown dsk a hero or a saint, let's keep in mind at the very least here he's a married guy that had sex with a hotel maid. he admitted that he had an affair with a subordinate that almost cost his him job and there's a french journalist that says back in 2003 he tried to rip her clothes off. should we be careful and not let the pendulum swing so far in this direction? >> yes, of course we have to be careful. that's probably one of the biggest lessons. we don't know that the story is over, when it's going to end, if it's going to end. for the journalists we probably should have been more cautious, even though here in the united states the covering of the situation has been much, much different from the french way. the french way was, first the shock, really, a huge shock in the first minutes of the arrestation. you have to keep in mind, for the french people there is emotion in this. it's not only a case. it's not only a guy who is a head of the imf.

on the one hand you could argue that president obama, who wanted a big deal, boehner wanted a big deal, came up with at much as $3 trillion in spending cuts, several hundred billion in revenue increases to balance that. you had the republicans led by eric cantor saying not one dollar in tax hikes. is it hard to assess whether you have one strong faction of the republican party holding up a deal? >> remember when the "the new york times" and "the washington post" that boehner and obama weren't working on a big, grand compromise. >> right. >> "the new york times" talked about the tax hike part of it. t"the washington post" talked about cuts to social security and medicare that obama was willing to go along with. the first stories were all about democrats screaming bloody murder about, you know, no way are they going to go along, congressional democrats, go along with cuts to meds care and social security even if the president wants it. then boehner walked out on the big deal and said no we're not going to do it. my point is there is clearly blame on both sides, and much of the focus righ

for years networks have been paying for big interview. they deny it, saying they're providing licensing fees for photos or videos, but it's a fig leaf and everyone knows it. abc news has been one of the worst offenders paying casey anthony $200,000 shortly before she was indicted in the murder of her young daughter and $10,000 to $15,000 to meagan broussard, one of her online pals. but this week i learned abc is getting out of the checkbook business under pressure from chris cuomo, who did the interview, the network is banning payments except perhaps in extraordinary circumstance. spokesman ben sherwood says the payments have become a crutch. will other networks follow suit or score more exclusives with abc out of the pay to play game? >>> here's what bothers me about the latest coverage of piers morgan. i don't have a clue if he had knowledge of phone hacking when he was the daily editor. but they've convicted him with very little evidence, such as when he was asked about the nasty down in the gutter stuff in a 2009 interview with bbc ra
